Default Central Vac silencer

Ah, shift work. I heard that. Having been a shift worker.

Mount on a foam pad is good idea -- camping section at
Walmart, buy a foam sleeping pad for six bucks or so. Cut it
up with a razor, to the right size for under your central
vac.

Would it be easier to use the vac when people are awake?


Shift work. Not an option. If the foreclosures ramp up,
might even have to
"hot bunk" like they do on subs if homeless friends and
relatives have to be
taken in. Let us pray for economic recovery. (-:

That said, you can use a bathroom exhaust fan, to draw the
heat from the top of the room / closet where the vac
resides. Also, please consider that the sound may be going
out the bottom of the vac through the floor. So, lift the
unit and put sound deadening under the unit.


It's hanging from a plate attached to a piece of 3/4 ply
attached to cinder
block wall. I am moving it, so I think I will use some of
the big
rubberized mounts I've seen in my junk pile but quite can't
remember where I
got them from. Like car motor mounts, just much smaller.
Good point,
though, to insulate the mountings as much as I can
acoustically speaking.
